review 1: Another retreat read. While it was fun to skip around and read a bunch of short stories by authors I was unfamiliar with the collection left me a little cold. None of the stories I read were bad but none of them really grabbed me either. My favorite, perhaps the least realistic of the bunch, was by Lore Segal. I especially like the fact that while the story sounded like it was written by a young man it was in fact written by an older woman.
review 2: I took two books with me on my trip, this and "The heartbreaking work of Staggering Genius" (which I've already read). The first story of this book was super cheesy and we were getting a package ready for home and my bag was really heavy so I sent this home. Then found out that I would be spending a week alone on a... more island where there aren't any English books.... Big mistake. I will never ship another book home in my life! You never know when you will need it. less
